1.Carousel
作詞:Vanessa Carlton
For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbit's on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she'll let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
All you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Never too late to change the pace
So all the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under, under
And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
It's in the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend
And time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run
2.I Don't Want To Be A Bride
I like your company
Got a fresh philosophy
Never knew you're such a gentleman
You could take me on a cheap vacation
I don't wanna have expectations
'Cause you could be the end of me
I don't need a house on a hill
Swing on a tree, grandfather clock
Porcelain for tea, a garden with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side
But I don't wanna be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don't wanna wear white
You know it's too late for that
Can we keep the ever after?
Could it be?
Don't need no golden ring
It'd be no match for the love you bring
From London to Tennessee
We could catch a train to another life
On a whim under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm and arm where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side
But I don't wanna be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don' t wanna wear white
We know it's too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh, could it be? Just you and me
We will live like kings under lavender
Skies, skies
We will live like kings under lavender
Skies, skies
We will build a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
Just you and me
We will
3.London
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
But time betrays me
And I get older one more year
Walk London's windy streets
Go anywhere but home
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
That only cobble stones hold
Only the cobble stones know
And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back
Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Wait for it, wait for it
Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back
And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
4.Fairweather Friends
Say you see through the folly
But you do it for the fame
And I'm fighting the jet stream
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
You're in LA, not Chicago
Key under mat
I walk the dog, order in
Home alone
Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night
Some other girl in your spell, casting plans for her life
Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp lies
Breathe the words of diamonds on rings
You didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Magical thinking gets us by
Sing for the aftershow, those candy-colored lips
Your age is showing and you've gotta harder for it
It's always easier with freshmen
I'm not as clever, it should bring you to life
You didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Magical thinking gets us by
My fairweather friend
Fairweather friend
Live for the folly, but you did it for the fame
Now you're fragile as porcelain
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
Did I ever leave Chicago?
I got your message, glad you're doing well
You didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really mean it
Magical thinking gets us by
Gets us by, gets us by
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
Say you see through the folly
But you did it for the fame
My fairweather friend
5.Hear The Bells
Stealing glances through the key hole
In a brick wall's wooden door
Change are keeping quite secrets
Two hundred year old folklore
And the graveyard on Elizabeth
No one ever goes
Kneeling praying to a gravestone
But the gravestone never tells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
December crossing on to Chinatown
As the wind starts to cut through
Always, always on the lookout
But the poisons running through you
Stomachaches, try to concentrate
Walk the stairs on the third floor
Now I'm asking a witch doctor
But the witch doctor won't tell
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Floating on the sea, stars are watching me
Current takes me out, what will be will be
Floating on the sea, stars are watching me
Current takes me out, what will be will be
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
Hear the bells
6.Dear California
As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know you
Tell me, will you miss me when I'm gone?
'Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
This alchemy is making me suspicious
As if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get, don't you know?
Yes, my grand friend checks it
Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
I'm not in companies when you feel it the most
And you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup in the open road
But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep
It's easy, it's easier than it seems
It's easy, it's easier than it seems
Just go, I'll go, don't cry
I don't know, I don't know, but you fly, hey
Paper-cut to the heart
Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?
Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
7.Tall Tales For Spring
God rest His head Sunday afternoon
The wicked in me is surely the wicked in you
We pray to a ghost that we never met
Time turns for a cure, from the sciences rolling
Madness, madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
And Hawking will tell us no tall tales this spring
Your mind saw the chaos that started everything
Maybe it's faith, and the sadness takes hold
Still stars through the window, will we ever know this?
Madness, madness of the heart
You knew it, you knew it from the start
Madness, a madness of the heart
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
Stare a sleepy smile into a sunbeam
There's nothing more than a daydream
Colored stained glass cathedral
Confines a past that won't let you go
God, rest Your head Sunday afternoon
The wicked in me is surely coming through
Pray to a ghost that I've never met
So I'm searching for someway out of this mess
It's the heart, it's the heart
And there is a madness, a madness in the stars
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
8.Get Good
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
Like a blanket around you
You believe in colors when I saw you
Put your velvet on the moonlight
Have you lost your constellations eyes?
You could give a time, I wish I could be there
Wish I could make it right
Don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
You'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
You'll figure it out and get good again
Stone wall run, hills are green
Golden dust and dandelion seen, about a soft serene
Oh, it's been so long since path of soft serene
It's been so long
But don't you worry you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
You'll feel lucky, darling, I promise you this
You'll figure it out and get good again
You said you don't know why you don't feel free
No, it's not true but I know what you mean
I want to thank you for being so good to me
I just wanted you to know
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
Like a blanket around you
We'll look out for each other
Yeah, I'll look out for you
We'll look out for each other
Don't you worry you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
You'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
Figure it out, yeah, we'll get good again
I'll figure it out and we'll get good again
I'll figure it out, get good again
In a dream
Dandelion fields in a dream
Dandelion fields in a dream
9.Marching Line
Boots on concrete
Don't slip on the leaves, smile at the strangers
Won't know what you mean
Clouds like cathedrals, night hits the sea
And I walk to the high light
Ships gonna take me at midnight
Storms sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Take back your list
You don't know what love is like, a bullet in the chest
And I never say yes
There, on a day without a quiet regret
So I walk to the high light
Ships gonna take me at midnight
Storms sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind and join the marching line
And there's no captain who calls
'What's your name?'
An army of one
It's just me and a drum
Do you know a love like a bullet in the chest?
Ships on gray seas
Waves keep the time like my heartbeat, it's an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind and join the marching line
Fortune tellers, fortune still hurt
10.In The End
And in the end
You begin again
It's the way of all things
Your body's like a wishing well
Of a million diamonds
Her bones to dust bursting
Into a million diamonds
And you'll carry on
'Cause in the end
It's the way of all things
It will be beautiful
